Zip lining


We walked up for quite a distance 


To zip down


On 7 zip lines


One was 400 meters 


Later we saw others go by on a zip line


We went to the sauna 

Put some mud on
 
And went into 5 different temperature ponds 


This was our group minus one
Who didn’t feel good, out of breath after the big climb

Out of the farm lane


Up by the 6 the banks are growing tall

Locating pipes



the back door can't open


so going around


the airconditioner is disapearing
we don't need it now anyway


the pipes for the furnace are in the process of being buried




I dug out the path and by the door
Rien is digging for the pipes





even found the dryer vent

Surprise Lamb


The ewe was declared not pregnant by our vet


But she just had a little ram lamb



The older lambs are weaned, so it’s noisy in the barn



Outside more snow 



The pile is getting close to the barn door 


Inside it’s nice 



 Outside we have lots of snow and unfortunately usually a lot of wind
